Ingredients
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 1 cup milk (or water or plant-based milk)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
- ½ cup cream cheese (softened)
- ½ cup marshmallow creme
- 24 oz candy melts (pink or other colors)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking pan with parchment or spray it with baking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, milk (or water), and eggs. Beat on low for 30 seconds, then increase to medium and mix for 2 minutes until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake according to the box instructions.
- When the cake is done, remove from the oven and crumble the hot cake into fine crumbs.
- Add the softened butter, cream cheese, and marshmallow creme to the crumbs. Mix until evenly combined.
- Press the mixture into heart-shaped silicone molds and insert cake-pop sticks. Chill until firm, at least 30–45 minutes.
- Melt the candy melts according to package directions, then dip each chilled pop into the melted candy, tapping off the excess. Allow to harden before serving.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute with plant-based milk and vegan cream cheese; use tempered chocolate for a real chocolate snap.
